Also Jack has only just graduated high school: “Part of the reason I made it is that my folks pushed me.” He didn’t like going to high school, maybe because he was bullied by the girls in his school. That is why the relationship seems so fake; he does not know how a real relationship should be. This is also the reason of the title: “Lies.” It is only in his head, because he is lying to us. The fact that he is a projectionist could also describe how he is looking at movies all day and is dreaming away to the romantic movies where everything ends good and they always live happily ever after. He describes his relationship with Katy almost like a romantic Hollywood movie.
His parents are still in the stage where they know their son is autistic but they believe it might be a wrong diagnosis and their son is only going through a delay. But after speaking to professionals and Nelson’s teachers they have been confirmed that Nelson is autistic and he will received special education to accommodate to his needs. In addition, Nelson communicates through nonverbal communication which is primarily through hand gestures and noises. For example if he needs an object, he requests it by pointing at the object or grabbing the teachers hand and placing it on the desired object. Nelson plays with the toys and sometimes interacts with his classmates, but has a hard time making eye contact with people.
The eight year old putting his smooth arms around his father's neck proves that the boy's strange behavior is partially due to the father's behaviors. Being so young and having to deal with the death of his mother takes its toll on the boy's actions. He doesn't know any better than to dig out the wig from the trash because he is only eight years old and motherless. His father seems to lack the responsibility to tell him no in situations because he doesn't want to hurt the boy anymore than he already is. If the boy was older and more mature when he lost his mother, then he might not be susceptible to behaving so
Before she thought that Atticus was different from the other fathers in Maycomb because he was too old and couldn’t do anything fun with them. After he killed the mad dog in one shot, Scout was proud of her father and got more influenced in him. Scout is forced to understand that Tom Robinson was being treated differently because he had colored skin. Because of that, Scout realized that people can be prejudice because her father took a case of an African American man who was innocent. It shows that Scout can actually think seriously about things when she says, “Who in this town did anything to help Tom Robinson, just who?”(215).
The story never frankly states anything about him; rather, the reader must break the story down to truly understand this character. Oscar’s character exposition is revealed by what the narrator says. What the narrator says in this story is what the young boy thinks. This type of exposition brings out his true personality by knowing his every honest thought and desire. During the part of the story that Yolanda is at Oscar’s house because he was sick the narrator says, “She was prettier than any of them, but I never told her that, because I got embarrassed when I thought about saying it.” (Casares, 199) This quotation shows that without the inside thoughts of Oscar, the reader would not fully understand how Oscar felt towards Yolanda.

The boy, nicknamed Ort, tells his story in the first person; readers will either find this charming or off-putting, depending on taste. Ort, whose parents are remnants of the hippie culture of the 1960’s, cannot cope with the town school and its slightly more sophisticated denizens. Though he lacks the toughness of his older sister Tegwyn, he reveals his strength of character by his mature reaction to his father’s death. Now lacking a paternal role model, Ort soon makes good the
He is intriguingly different, and his introspection allows us unusually deep into his mind. I initially doubted if a 15-year-old boy would ruffle his 20-year-old sister's hair and refer to her as "a beautiful young woman who meant everything to me", but Joe's exceptional decency eventually persuaded me that he might. After all, Joe says that although his father is "bigoted and blind and stupid", he "couldn't hold that against him". I would have done, but Joe, being exceptionally decent, couldn't. Brooks's use of language is adept.
Coontz believes it is not a good decade for people to remember there was change in values that caused racism, sexism, and discrimination against women. Viewers today would not turn to sitcoms to compare their lives to the sitcoms. For example, the viewers do not want to be a teenage single father living at home with parents with no education as in the show “Raising Hope.” People watch sitcoms now for entertainment. In the 1950s sitcoms the mother stayed at home to look after the children and the father was the one off to work to financially support the family. As shown in sitcoms, “gender roles became much more predictable, orderly and settled in the 1950s” (Coontz 31).
Jody AdamsBeethoven Lives Upstairs The conflict of this film is that Beethoven unexpectedly moves in with Christoph and his mom and Christoph does not like it because Beethoven is loud and rambunctious.
